Eric Carlson

Eric Carlson (1894 - July 28 1932) was a US veteran from Oakland, California. He fought in the trenches of France in World War I. He participated during the height of the Depression in a rally for veterans benefits in Washington DC called the Bonus march.

The US army sent tanks, cavalry and soldiers with bayonet-affixed rifles to disperse the veterans and burn their camp. He was one of the veterans shot and killed on July 28, 1932.
